THERE are "temporary visitor restrictions" in place on two wards at Bronglais Hospital, due to an outbreak of norovirus.

The Rhiannon and Iorwerth wards currently have some temporary visitor restrictions in place, the hospital said today (Thursday), to help prevent the spread of norovirus, which has been confirmed in a small number of patients.

Visitors to the two wards are being asked to comply with specific hygiene requirements.

The situation is being monitored at regular intervals and a further update will become available when visitor restrictions are lifted, the hospital added.

Matthew Willis, general manager at Bronglais, said: “I’d like to reassure visitors that a small number of norovirus cases have been diagnosed and appropriate infection control measures are in place to reduce the risk of infection."
